She could be any one amongst us – she is my friend - she has the perfect life when seen from a distance – in every way – but she is not happy – like most of us. She does not know why – she has no major troubles – no issues – but something is amiss - however hard she tries, she is not able to find her exact problem. My recent conversations with her got me thinking - do we sometimes search for happiness in the wrong places – do we always have to search for happiness – should we be more busy creating reasons to smile rather than wondering why there are not enough reasons. Way back in school, I got a gift – it was a wooden plaque which had these words engraved on it – "Happiness is not about having everything – it is about enjoying everything we have". True – simple lessons in life are maybe meant to be the easiest to forget and the most difficult to recollect – else we would be in a perfect world and life just might be boring.
